I'm from Ukraine, I'm 54, and I have been living in Ireland from October 2022. I started to study English in 1979, in primary school, in Soviet Union. I knew nothing in English after finished school. Then, in my life, I started learning English several times (5-7) with the same results. Only when I came to Ireland it has moved from the dead point. Thanks a lot for your and your colleagues for the good learning materials!!!!

For the first time I could understand 100% a video in english. I was thinking to myself: how is this possible? I think the reason was the speed of your speech. You don't speak very fast and your speech is clear. I think that's why I understood everything.

Basically, there are no people with natural-born talent, there are people who love what they do and who spent a lot of time mastering a particular skill, the only barrier is your mindset.

Debemos aprenderla en un contexto de comunicación. 7 Descubrir las reglas por ti mismo. 8 Con tiempos usamos at, dias usamos On, con meses usamos in, 9 Negative Feedback: Correcciones de un profesor. 10 Vocabulario: Lectura, Anki Cards. 11 Busca material un paso mas adelante de lo que sabes y buscalo en un contexto específico. 12 Fluidez es Practica!. 13 Es duro, ten paciencia, disfrutalo para que sea más facil. 14 Ten cuidado con falsos profetas, porque ellos tienen un negocio de ello.

I've been an English teacher for over 30 years and I agree 100% with everything you said and explained in this video. 💯👏👏👏👏
Hi Christian! I couldn't resist watching this video as I had a feeling you'd be taking fluency in another direction. As a fellow English teaching colleague, I find your approach so refreshing. Even here on KZread, I emphasize fostering community, helping people feel relaxed and open to improving, and try to avoid false promises. In the end, I believe anyone can become fluent if you're willing to put in the work and take action - that's how I became fluent in Spanish even after years of "knowing" what I needed to do. I also find the emphasis on "fluency secrets" quite frustrating - all of my discussions of fluency center around identifying your needs and goals. While I don't think selling courses is a bad thing - all education receives funding from somewhere - they are not THE answer, they are simply ONE answer. Thank you for being a voice of reason and wisdom for your community and setting high standards for our teaching community as well.

Teacher, I did love your video! You´re a true master because you´re honest,genuine and simple. Keep up the great work!
This video is really what I needed. As someone living in a french speaking country and having issues with stuttering, I understand that the most important to be fluent is to practice a lot, like Gary Kasparov in chess. I'm determined to do so, every single day whatever it takes. Thank you
I love the theory of the ‘affective filter’ when learning a second language. When I went to school, I couldn’t stand learning French and had no passion with the language but when I was introduced to Korean, I found my passion. Language is a passion and an art. I enjoy learning the constructs of Korean grammar but I love enjoy communicating with my Korean friends but focus less on grammar. I’m a firm believer in interaction to develop confidence in language production and comprehensible input to aid language acquisition. Thanks Christian for the great video.

It's efinitely true. Let me tell you something. I'm a Spanish speaker and I have been learning English. And then I moved to Brazil I've been about a couple of years and I kept learning English there as well, of course, paying. Now I figure out that I can speak Portuguese but I didn't pay anything whilst I keep learning English.....so, I am on the wrong path I think. Cheers! that's was a motivational one man.

Christian, I'm an Independent English Language Trainer in France and felt the need to let you know that your channel is the best I have found yet. I have 15 years of experience, yet I'm still learning (as are we all) and I have learnt a lot from your videos. Your channel is the first I will recommend to my students; the way you 'clip' your words while not speaking too slowly is perfect, the content is fantastic.... Anyway, just wanted to say 'keep up the good work' and thanks. Have a good day.

As an English teacher you're fantastic.
One of the best videos about language learning that I've watched here on KZread. It was really helpful, because most of people who are obsessed about learning a language just want someone to tell them that they will get it easily, without much effort. The type of people who seek for this kind of information are mostly lazy ones. And it's hard to find guys like you around here, because people don't want to hear the truth. There is no way to learn something without practice, effort and investing time. And the most important: YOU MUST ENJOY WHAT YOU ARE DOING! (Sorry for my bad English).
Wooo I didn't expect the video's end... thanks you really change my thoughts I'm gonna practice too much ✌
Simple wow !!, outstanding teacher, no bull, great pronunciation, clear and cleaver. Thank you

Hi Patricia! Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm really happy you're addicted to English. There is no better motivation! Keep going and just imagine how your English will be in 12 months from now!
Dear Christian I think the best process it´s when we use our emotions so we can speak spontaneously,for example:why do we learn swearing in any language?Think about it mate...Cos´we use our emotions,now imagine you are speaking spanish but not swear words,but real feelings, sensations concerning to the survival mode,that´s the way you´ll connect ur very idiosyncracy and empirical ´´self´´!Your channel is second to none on the whole u tube!Great job!
I really like what you say about learning grammar in a communicative way since that's the way I learned my english. The problem I face today is that it's hard for me to put the rules into words. For example, if someone shows something they wrote to me and I see a mistake in the structure of a sentence, I can surely point it out, and I can correct it. But I can't actually explain why. They ask about it and I say "That's just the way it is".
Good pronunciation, para los amantes de las lenguas, I feel to love for language, buen trabajo para mucha gente, gracias
